Toowoomba City Council secret water meetings ...

You'd think that the Toowoomba City Council would learn its lesson.

Most of the failed Water Futures project was cobbled together in secret closed door Council meetings.

Toowoomba residents were kept in the dark while the Council plotted to spend their money in ill-advised ways.

The public have shown their reaction to these clandestine meetings on two occasions - the 2006 referendum and the subsequent by-election.

The voters have clearly shown that they do not trust this Council and want open and transparent decision making.

And what do they get?

More of the same.

Does the Council think that continuing to hold secret meetings about spending ratepayers' money on water projects which will not bring a single drop of additional water to Toowoomba homes will go down well with the voters?

Perhaps the Council workers secretly want to get rid of the Councillors at next year's election.

Their secret plan to cleanse the Council is clearly working ...

$10-15M expenditure and not one drop of water for the community.
It would seem that there is no urgency in this matter.

The 8 Councillors on Toowoomba City Council are only interested in bringing water to a dam coal mine.
How does our environmental Mayor reconcile her ideals with that one?

Must be plenty of water underground for the city after all. Guess we're not running out because they can't be bothered spending any money on it.
